Recent statements by Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf calling for economic sanctions against Israel at the Arab-Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia have sparked controversy and internal discord within the Algerian regime.
The Foreign Ministry later retracted these comments, attributing them to misreporting by private media.
Critics argue this retraction highlights the regime’s internal divisions and its reliance on the military for foreign policy decisions. The incident underscores Algeria’s inconsistent foreign policy, marked by reactive measures and a sensitivity to external pressures. It also exposes the role of private media in exposing government inconsistencies and holding the regime accountable.
